Due to a lack of officers present the first part of the meeting was informal. No attendance was taken.
Minutes taken by Patrick Bowman (Seneschal)
Seneschal's report
Handover from Nicola is mostly complete. Key to be handed over, agree to delete Seneschal Facebook account (currently inactive). Two officer positions were advertised (A&S and Herald), applications received for both, I will forward to the relevant Kingdom officers and expect to be able to announce the results shortly. As we have a Reeve based out of town, future meetings will need some coordination with her regarding video conferencing. I will consult as to the most appropriate platform / software. A dedicated webcam may be appropriate.
